Frequently asked questions

We never sell your identity or receipt images. While your receipt exists, internal links let us correct its price observations. Those links are excluded from published or licensed data and removed when you delete your account. We do license de-identified price data (see how we make money), with no account identifiers, receipt grouping, or correction links.

Never by selling you. Today, through Premium — an optional subscription for extra voice lists and household sharing; everything that finds you savings stays free. Longer term, also by licensing de-identified market price data — individual price observations and aggregate stats like the median price of a product in your area this month — to retailers, researchers, and market analysts. That data carries no name, email, account, receipt grouping, or internal correction links; we never sell your identity, your receipts, or anything personal. Both point at a smaller bill, not a bigger one: our incentive stays the same as yours — help you spend less. The details are in our privacy policy.

We black it out. Once we've read a receipt, an automated step burns black boxes over the payment-card number and tender block, loyalty and membership codes, your name, phone, email and address, and the barcode — in the copy we store — then permanently deletes the unredacted original. On PDFs we go further and strip out the underlying text, so it can't be copied back. It doesn't touch the store, line items, prices, or dates, and parsing always runs on the original first, so your price history reads fine. It's automated and best-effort — it can miss a spot on a blurry or oddly formatted receipt, so we won't call it a guarantee — but hiding what identifies you is baked into how the product works, not bolted on as a policy. Separately, we strip embedded metadata — including EXIF and GPS location tags — from every photo the moment it's uploaded. The full details are in our privacy policy.

Yes — and it's the best first move. Costco and Whole Foods both keep your past receipts online, and our parsers read those PDFs exactly, line by line:

• Costco: sign in at costco.com, open Orders & Purchases, switch to the In-Warehouse tab for store trips, then View Receipt and print or save each one as a PDF. Costco keeps roughly the last two years. Full walkthrough.
• Whole Foods: purchases scanned with your Prime code live in your Amazon account. Fastest path: request your order history from Amazon (Request My Data) and import the whole CSV in one go under Settings → Back-fill your history. Or save individual receipts as PDFs from Returns & Orders. Full walkthrough.

Then drag the whole stack onto the Upload page in one go. Every receipt parses automatically, and your price history, staples, and store comparisons fill in retroactively — months of insight on day one.

No new chore. It reads receipts you already get — forward a store email or snap a photo and you're done. It replaces grocery mental math; it doesn't add a task. You keep shopping exactly where you already shop.

Built for accuracy, honest when it's unsure. Digital order PDFs are read by exact-text parsers — no OCR guesswork; photos use AI vision with a self-check on the total. Anything ambiguous lands in a one-click “needs review” queue, and you can fix any line by hand. If a receipt still doesn't add up, Fix this receipt proposes corrections for you to review. We'd rather flag uncertainty than fake a number.

Weekly deals depend on your ZIP and include ALDI, Albertsons, Costco, H-E-B, Kroger, Lidl, Meijer, Publix, Safeway, Stop & Shop, Target, Whole Foods, and many regional chains. ShopRite and Trader Joe's publish no prices we can read, so there we use the prices on your receipts.

Receipts work from any grocery store: photos are read with AI vision, and PDF receipts from Whole Foods, Costco, and DeCicco & Sons are read by exact-text parsers built for each store's format. Want first-class support for your store? Request it from Settings and it goes straight to us.

Those services are funded by brands — Ibotta and Fetch get paid by CPG companies when you buy promoted products, so their model is built around purchases. We're different by design: no brand pays us to push anything. We show you where your whole basket is cheaper and surface one verified deal per product instead of a coupon firehose. Their incentive points toward buying more; ours points toward a smaller bill. We win when you spend less.

No. The whole point is the cheapest basket within the stores you already use. We only suggest splitting a trip across two stores when it genuinely saves money.

Yes, and recipes are free. Save the dinners your family already likes from a link, a photo of a cookbook page or recipe card, or pasted text. Recipes shows which ones have ingredients on sale this week, with the price and the store. Put a meal on your list and each ingredient goes to the cheapest of your stores.

Yes, with Premium. The household's owner subscribes, then invites a partner or roommates — they get Premium too. Everyone's receipts feed one shared history and everyone adds to the same shopping list, so the savings math runs on what your household actually buys. On the free plan you can still share your shopping list with anyone through a personal link — you choose whether they can add items from your staples, check things off, or suggest something, and they don't need an account.

The free plan costs nothing — no card, no trial countdown — and includes everything that finds you savings: receipts and price history, deals matched to what you buy, recipes, the smart shopping list, one voice list a day, and one receipt fix a day. Premium is $5.99 a month or $59.90 a year and adds five voice lists and five receipt fixes a day plus household sharing. Early user offer: subscribe by Dec 31 and pay $3.99 a month or $39.90 a year, locked in for as long as you stay subscribed. Cancel anytime in Settings. However we make money, it will never be ads, brand promotions, or selling your identity.

Anywhere in the US. Enter your ZIP and we'll find your nearby stores and their weekly deals. We started in Westchester County, NY, where our community price data runs deepest, and it grows wherever people upload.
